William Maginas is an accomplished Senior Executive and Thought Leader with more than 20 years of success across the commercial building, construction, technology, security, energy, and environmental solutions industries.

In 2016, after the merger of Johnson Controls International (JCI) and Tyco, he led the integration of 3,000 employees across three business units in 40 locations across the country. Prior to joining Johnson Controls, Maginas spent 17 years at Honeywell in a variety of roles, including leading the company’s building solution business in Canada, managing high-growth regions, such as Brazil, Turkey, and Mexico and as the Business Model Innovation leader at Connected Buildings.

“I am honored to have been asked to join the board of this innovative and forward-thinking company,” shared Bill Maginas. “I have been working in the security solutions industry for 20 years and believe that the PATSCAN Platform will become an effective tool for the early detection of active threats. The affordability, integration capability and user experience will make this part of every Security Officer’s plan to provide a safe environment with limited obstruction.”

Bill Maginas will begin his duties as a Director on Patriot One’s Board on January 1, 2020.
